Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The proportion of subjects with virological response during intervention will be compared to baseline and categorized according to responders (viral load 50 cp/mL at 24 weeks).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Immunological markers, neurocognitive performance, periodontal inflammation, HIV resistance associated mutations, HIV genetic variation (RNA and proviral DNA). Genetic compartmentalization of HIV (CSF-plasma and saliva-plasma comparison).
